Sorry, Scorpio.

October horoscopes are here, like a tiny person wearing plastic fangs at your doorstep demanding candy. This Halloween month, we have your starry forecast paired perfectly with a classic trick-or-treat candy. Or not so perfectly (we apologize in advance, Scorpio).

AriesThe focus this month is on relationships. You'll want more quality time with your partner, so you should probably join a bowling league together. If you're single, dear fire sign, someone's definitely got their eye on you. So instead of removing those cobwebs on the ceiling, convince yourself that they're festive Halloween decor and invite some people over! Then throw back a handful of M&M's; their hard outer shell complements your determination and the smooth chocolate filling will satisfy your impatient sweet tooth.

TaurusYou feel the pace ramping up as your calendar becomes more stacked. Work is busier than usual this October, so you’ll want to even it out with some solid playtime. Watch the football game with your friends, refine your pinball skills at the barcade, or work on your elaborate Halloween costume. Your candy weakness is a Milky Way—make that a handful stolen from the bowl someone left on their porch unattended—a delicious fluffy chocolate and nougat-y treat that will lift you off your feet. It’s the sweetness you need to balance out the grit you’ll be dealing with at work.

GeminiAs if you weren’t lively enough, Gemini, this month you'll feel like taking a chance! Buy a lottery ticket or book a last-minute trip to visit your friend across the country. Delight your ever-curious mind by signing up for that salve-making/kimchi/apple butter/fire-cider workshop. You’re certain that your Halloween costume is going to be the most hilarious, so as you put the final embellishments in place, snatch up a Twix—one bar for each of your good sides (wink, wink).

CancerLike a proper homebody, you couldn’t be more excited for fall, and you’ve got a whole stash of cinnamon-scented candles to prove it. You’ve never seen a decorative gourd that didn’t belong on your mantle. But if you stay inside this Halloween (you do you, introvert), pick up a bag of Tootsie Roll Pops—solid and sweet on the outside, but a softy at heart, just like you.

LeoWhether it’s the new iPhone, a snowboard, or a house, you’re tempted to drop some cash this month. You might also be saving up for something big. In the meantime, catch up on your reading and go on lots of hikes to admire (okay, and Instagram) the colorful leaves. You’re extra chatty this month, so on Halloween, invite a friend along for coffee and costume-ranking. Hand out (and eat a lot of) Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups—the ultimate show-stopper of all trick-or-treat. Your magnificence deserves no less.

VirgoThis month, you'll feel like you need to change up your everyday routine. That might mean waking up earlier for power vinyasa class before work, or downloading the Headspace app to see what all the talk is about. And once your evenings are free, you'll have time to learn how to make homemade caramel apples, just in time for Halloween. Dipped and decorated to perfection, we can count on you, Virgo, to get our vitamins, too!

LibraBetween your birthday and Halloween, October is overflowing with celebration. We know how hard it is for you to turn down an invitation, after all. When you’re not clinking glasses, you’ll be carving pumpkins—and out of anyone, your artistic eye gets it. Pleased with your spooky stoop, snag a Kit Kat bar, the scientifically balanced crispy, crunchy treat that's made for sharing, and you'll be feeling generous this month.

ScorpioYou'll be sticking close to home base this month, Scorpio, so take advantage and have a horror movie marathon in honor of Halloween. You’re brave enough to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre by yourself, but double check the deadbolt anyway. You search the house for any leftover Halloween candy, but all you'll find are raisins. They're under-appreciated, that's for sure, but still sweet!

SagittariusChange is here and it’s exhilarating! You might have recently let go of a confining situation, leaving you open for more possibilities in your social and creative spheres. So now, what’s next? Start by saying “yes” to any and all invitations. The time is ripe for inspiration and setting new goals, even if they’re just to stock up on day-after-Halloween candy sales. You’ll be geeking out on your favorite science fiction novels as you eat handfuls of Nerds—the tiny, tart candies are as vivid and plentiful as the possibilities before you.

CapricornA spark of ingenuity arrives and you know exactly what you'll be for Halloween this year. You're confident that you can win the best costume contest, and you don’t even care how much it costs to pull it off. In general, this month could be really fruitful for recognition, so strut your stuff and don’t be shy! As you wait for the glue to dry on your creepy clown mask, enjoy a king-size Snickers bar, a classic candy almost as distinguished as you are.

AquariusSomeone close to you is encouraging you to take a risk. It’s not always easy for you to step out of your comfort zone, but you’ll be happy that you did. Visit the amusement park and dare the tallest roller coaster and the haunted houses that used to terrify you. Since you only screamed bloody murder five times, celebrate your boldness by snacking on Sour Patch Kids. The sourness will psyche you up for more Halloween adventures.

PiscesNow that it’s getting colder, you're ready to get cozy and watch some iconic romantic films—whether it’s with your partner or your cat. You recognize the theatrical virtue of Halloween, so host a Murder Mystery dinner at your place. You love seeing everyone get into character, and you prefer fancy over scary any day. Since you have movie star tendencies (you know what we mean), you want none other than Starburst—the juicy, chewy goodness as dreamy as you.
